I have a SD with a 2 TB SSD upgrade working perfectly.

Situation/Question

I ordered a LE for myself for XMas with the intent of giving my 5 YO the LCD.

I want to open on Christmas Eve and give the LCD which my daughter already steals.

Wife says open and make sure that everything is working with “thorough testing” to be performed by yours truly.

What would you all do?

Open and test or leave sealed to XMas

She suggested I post this question.

    I’m in a similar boat, except the OLED will be my first Deck. Technically it’ll be “my” Deck but realistically it’ll be for the family to use.

    I plan to (carefully) open it when I receive it, spend an hour or two checking everything works as expected (with no kids present), then pack it back up as closely as I can to the original packaging and put it back under the tree for Xmas morning.

    My spouse knows about it, but my kids do not, so I want them to be “surprised” as Xmas. They are unlikely to notice it was previously open
